Setting up your account to use MIRIAD
of course varies a little from system to system, mostly in which directory the package was installed.
If in doubt, ask a local MIRIAD user. We will assume you are using the csh
shell. The environment variable $SHELL
will display what login shell you are using.A.1For bash, just replace .csh with .sh in the examples below.
Typically you will need to know where MIRIAD is stored, and then
source /somewhere/miriad/miriad_start.csh
If you have installed a binary release, and have not edited the two miriad_start.* files, please do so. You may also want to check your version of Miriad:
cat $MIR/VERSION
it should be version 4.1.1 as of this writing (July 2009).
